This was a great 5 star read. You get pulled in right from the beginning and you can’t wait to see what’s coming next. It was great seeing the characters from the first book. Lev and Daphne were great characters and I really enjoyed their story. The chemistry and banter between them was great. There are several twists and turns and the secret at the end, did not see that coming. This is my favorite couple so far in this series. All of the characters added a great element to the story. Once again these authors knocked it out of the park with their writing. Can’t wait for the next book. If you’re looking for a great enemies to lovers book this is it. 1-click and get started today.
